Don't companies have delivery notes or receipts any more? It should take less than half an hour to find out who the distributor is.

Had coca tea once. They give it to you before you go to Machu Picchu so that you don't get altitude sickness

@DJ - Winner & Kaylea :

Nigerian drug dealers in SA are smart but i doubt if they are that scientifically inclined to transform cocaine in to tea especially the caliber of uneducated Nigerian drug dealers in SA.If you are talking of the Nigerian drug dealers in the UK then i might agree with you.

.................................................................................................................................

For each and every product that I buy in any shop has address and telephone of the manufacturer /or packaging company. Why can't they track the origin of this tea????? The shop that defied Police instruction to remove this tea from itself must be heavily fined.

@Dzel

Thanks for posting the website link.From what i can deduce the logo on the website is similar to red indian/aztec wood sculptures which are South American.

The website was built with abode flash and the page source code has this at the bottom :

<body>
<div id="flashcontent" align="center">
Descarga Macromedia Flash Player haciendo
<a href="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"><strong>clic aquĆ­</strong></a>
</div>

I have googled " Descarga Macromedia Flash Player haciendo " and the first and last word seems to be latin or spanish.The person behind this product definitely has links to South America.

The tea is also sold under the Delisse brand name so they might want to contact Cipro for more information regarding "Delisse" and "Cocazone".On the Cocazone page ,they claim to donate some of their profits to children who have been victims of drug abuse.Finally the company seems to having operating at least since 2006 according to the copyright acknowledgement at the bottom of their website.If that is the case, was their product not tested and approved by the SABS first? or are they a rogue company?

@9janavy A point of correction the academic nigerians in UK are mostly law abiding citizen because they know Scotland yard is smarter than them ,so please do not act as if nigerian drug dealers in UK are smart. The same unacademic nigerians in South Africa have a network unfortunately in UK they won't succed cause of high intelligence and less corrupt police system. Unless you are referring to another UK not United Kingdom of Great Britain and Norther Ireland.
